Step-by-step process for moving a WordPress site to Webflow
Moving a WordPress website to WebFlow is not a difficult process, but does require WebFlow expertise. Once your WP website is converted to WebFlow, you can easily update existing content and create new features without the headache of WordPress plugins.
Analyze your WordPress website to identify essential pages, posts, and dynamic content that you'll need to recreate in Webflow. It's important to keep your site's structure consistent to avoid SEO implications.
Export your WordPress content (posts, pages, media library) and import the content into Webflow’s CMS. EverConnect uses a proprietary, in-house tool to ensure data integrity and SEO optimization.
Utilize Webflow's visual builder to design or redesign your website's layout, ensuring it remains consistent with your brand.
Set 301 redirects to maintain your WordPress site's SEO rankings during the transition to Webflow. You'll also want to make sure that all of your pages and posts have SEO meta titles and descriptions as well as open graph data for social media sharing.
Conduct comprehensive testing before launching the site. After you complete the quality assurance (QA) process, you'll need to point your domain's DNS records to WebFlow's secure hosting platform.
